Alice in Bondage' quaternary studio album, Black Gives Manner to Blue, was released on the 17th anniversary of Clay, on September 29, 2009.

Background and recording [edit]

The recording of Dirt began in the spring of 1992. Producer Dave Jerden, who had previously worked with the band on their debut, Facelift, wanted to work with them again. He admired vocalist Layne Staley's lyrics and voice, and atomic number 82 guitarist Jerry Cantrell'south guitar riffs. The track "Would?" produced, engineered and mixed by Rick Parashar, was recorded before the anthology, and first appeared on the soundtrack to the 1992 movie Singles.[12] Dirt was recorded at Eldorado Recording Studio in Burbank, California, London Span Studio in Seattle, and One on One Studios in Los Angeles from April to July 1992.[2]

Dirt was recorded during the Los Angeles riots that erupted following the acquittal of 4 LAPD officers caught on camera beating unarmed blackness motorist Rodney Male monarch.[13] The riots started on the offset twenty-four hours of recording. The band was watching TV when the verdict for the incident was announced.[13] Jerry Cantrell was in a shop buying some beer when a man came in and started looting the place. Cantrell as well got stuck in traffic and saw people pulling each other out of their cars and beating them.[14] The band tried to get out of the town without getting hurt while LA was protesting against police brutality. They took Slayer vocalist Tom Araya with them and went to the Joshua Tree desert for four or v days until things calmed down, so moved back into the studio and started recording the anthology.[xiii]

When recording the album, Staley had previously checked out of rehab and speedily went back to using heroin.[12] Staley later went cold-turkey on his own while reading The Bad Place, past horror novelist Dean R. Koontz.[12] Jerden later said that he was told Staley felt animosity toward him dating back to the Dirt sessions due to Jerden repeatedly recommending to Staley that he get sober at the time.[15] Jerden said, "Obviously he got all mad at me [during the Dirt sessions] ... And what's my job as a producer? To produce a record. I'm not getting paid to be Layne'south friend."[xv]

Staley was not the but one who went through heavy drug use; drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Starr were also struggling with alcohol addiction.[xvi]

Dave Jerden got the album's famous guitar tone by blending three different amps - a Bogner Fish preamp for the low end, a Bogner Ecstacy for the mid frequencies, and a Rockman Headphone amp for the high frequencies.[17]

Music and lyrics [edit]

With songs written primarily on the road, the material is darker than Facelift.[nineteen] "We did a lot of soul searching on this anthology. At that place's a lot of intense feelings."[19] Cantrell said, "We deal with our daily demons through music. All of the poison that builds up during the day we cleanse when we play".[twenty] Drug use was front end and center as a lyrical theme on the album. Three tracks ("Sickman", "Junkhead" and "God Smack") specifically reference heroin apply and its furnishings.[21]

Staley revealed that the album is semi-conceptual and that there are two basic themes in information technology. The outset theme is about "dealing with kind of a personal anguish and turmoil, which turns into drugs to ease that pain, and being confident that that was the answer in a manner. Then later on the songs showtime to slip down closer and closer to hell, and then he figures out that drugs were non, and are not, the way to ease that hurting. Basically, it's the whole story of the concluding three years of my life." Staley described the other theme equally being about "painful relationships and involvements with persons."[21]

Staley afterward expressed regret well-nigh the lyrical content of some songs on Dirt, explaining, "I wrote most drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or devil-may-care past writing well-nigh them ... I didn't want my fans to think that heroin was absurd. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That'southward exactly what I didn't want to happen."[22]

Cantrell said in 2013: "That darkness was always function of the band, but information technology wasn't all about that. In that location was e'er an optimism, even in the darkest shit we wrote. With Dirt, it'south not like nosotros were saying 'Oh yeah, this is a good matter.' Information technology was more than of a alarm than anything else, rather than 'Hey, come and check this out, it's great!' We were talking nearly what was going on at the time, but within that there was always a survivor chemical element – a kind of triumph over the darker elements of being a human being. I notwithstanding recall we have all of that intact, but maybe the pct has shifted."[23]

Cantrell told RIP mag in 1993 that not all of the lyrics have drug references:

I think "Sickman" is non that bad. I thought most of the hassle would come from "Junkhead" and "Godsmack". Those songs are put in sequence on the 2d side those five songs from "Junkhead" to "Angry Chair" for a reason: Because it tells a story. Information technology starts out with a really young naive mental attitude with "Junkhead", like drugs are great, sex is not bad, rock'northward' roll, yep! And then, as information technology progresses, there'south a footling bit of growing up and a little flake of a realization of what it's most, and that ain't what information technology'due south nearly. I've been using this phrase a lot, but it makes a lot of sense: It's really like shooting fish in a barrel to die; it's really hard to live. It takes a lot of guts to live. Information technology doesn't take a lot of guts to die. Those five and "Sickman" are the only ones talking about that type of mentality [drugs]. The residuum of the stuff is not like that at all. "Pelting When I Dice" is a song to a daughter. There'southward a lot of stuff on it. A practiced portion of information technology is a story, and it's meant to be that way. It's kind of overwhelming and unpleasant at times, unsettling maybe, but that's why all those songs are together. Even if it'southward agonizing, information technology'due south not something everyone else needs to worry about or the way somebody else needs to live their life.[24]

In the liner notes of 1999's Music Banking company box set up collection, Cantrell cited "Junkhead" and "God Smack" as "the nearly openly honest" songs nigh drug utilise.[10]

Cantrell said he wrote "Them Bones" nigh "bloodshed, that one of these days nosotros'll end up a pile of bones."[10] He told RIP magazine in 1993: "'Them Bones' is pretty cut and dried. It's a little sarcastic, but it'southward pretty much almost dealing with your mortality and life. Everybody's going to die someday. Instead of being afraid of it, that's the way it is: so savour the time you've got. Alive every bit much as you can, take as much fun every bit possible. Face your fear and live. I had family members die at a adequately early age; so I've ever had kind of a phobia about it. Death freaks me out. I think information technology freaks a lot of people out. Information technology's the terminate of life, depending on your views. It'south a pretty scary thing. "Them Bones" is trying to put that idea to residual. Utilize what you have left, and utilize it well."[24]

Cantrell was inspired to write "Dam That River" after a fight he had with Sean Kinney, in which Kinney broke a coffee tabular array over his head.[24] [ten] The lyrics to "Rain When I Die" were written by Cantrell and Staley about their respective girlfriends.[21] "Sickman" came together after Staley asked Cantrell to "write him the sickest melody, the sickest, darkest, near fucked up and heaviest thing [Cantrell] could write."[ten]

"Rooster" was written by Cantrell for his father, Jerry Cantrell Sr., who served in the Vietnam War and his childhood nickname was "Rooster".[25] [ten] Cantrell described the vocal as "the showtime of the healing process betwixt my Dad and I from all that damage that Vietnam caused."[10]

Discussing the title runway "Dirt", Cantrell stated that "the words Layne put to it were and then heavy, I've never given him something and not idea it was gonna exist the most bad-assed affair I was going to hear."[10] Staley said he wrote the song "to a certain person who basically buried my donkey".[21]

The 43-second "Iron Gland" was developed out of a guitar riff that Cantrell would play that annoyed the other band members, so he created the song (adding in a reference to Black Sabbath'due south "Atomic number 26 Man") and promised to never play the guitar riff again,[ten] although the track is played as intro music in concert.[26] Information technology features Tom Araya of thrash metallic ring Slayer on vocals, likewise equally Layne Staley. "Detest to Feel" and "Angry Chair" were both equanimous solely past Staley, who also played guitar on both tracks,[27] and Cantrell has expressed his pride in seeing Staley abound every bit a songwriter and guitarist.[10]

"Down in a Hole" was written past Cantrell to his long-fourth dimension girlfriend, Courtney Clarke.[28] Cantrell explained the song in the liner notes of 1999'southward Music Bank box set: "["Down in a Pigsty"]'south in my top three, personally. It'southward to my long-time honey. It's the reality of my life, the path I've called and in a weird way it kind of foretold where we are correct now. Information technology'due south hard for u.s. to both understand...that this life is not conducive to much success with long-term relationships."[10]

The album'due south final track, "Would?", was written past Cantrell as a tribute to his friend and tardily lead singer of Mother Love Bone, Andrew Wood,[29] who died of a drug overdose in 1990.[thirty] Cantrell said the song is also "directed towards people who pass judgments."[10]

Packaging and title [edit]

The album's cover fine art features a woman half buried in a croaky desert landscape. The comprehend was photographed past Rocky Schenck, who likewise created the image along with the album's fine art director, Mary Maurer.[31] Information technology was the band's idea to have a nude woman one-half-buried in the desert for this cover, and she could exist either expressionless or live.[31] The band discussed the type of woman they wanted and Schenck began casting shortly subsequently. Schenck submitted a photo of model/extra Mariah O'Brien and the ring chose her.[32]

The cover shoot took identify at Schenck's Hollywood studio on June 14, 1992, with the supervision of drummer Sean Kinney.[33] After the eight hr photo session, O'Brien went to the bathroom and left her wig embedded in the dirt. Schenck and so snapped a few photos, which were later used for the 1999 box ready Music Bank.[31]

For many years, fans believed that the model on the cover was Staley's then-girlfriend, Demri Parrott, but Schenck revealed to Revolver Magazine in 2011 that the girl was actually Mariah O'Brien, with whom he had previously worked on the cover of Spinal Tap'due south single "Bitch Schoolhouse".[31] The mag too published behind the scenes photos from the shoot featuring O'Brien.[31] Schenck told Revolver Mag:

Anybody always asks if that is Demri Parrott on the "Dirt" Cover. I think Demri's proper noun might have been mentioned every bit a possible model once or twice, just it was never a serious consideration.[31]

In an interview with the Canadian magazine M.E.A.T. in December 1992, Layne Staley said about the cover:

This album cover... I like to refer to information technology as "revenge". The song 'Dirt' was written to a certain person who basically buried my donkey, so the adult female on the album cover is kinda the portrayal of that person being sucked downwardly into the dirt (laughs), instead of me. The picture is the spitting image of her, and that wasn't even planned. Really, I was pretty angry nigh it when I first saw it – she's not happy about it either (laughs). It was real eerie.[21]

The cover was referenced on the music video for Alice in Chains' 2009 single "A Looking in View". At the half dozen:55 mark of the video, a woman (played by Sacha Senisch) is seen lying on a cracked desert floor similarly to Dirt's comprehend.[34] "A Looking in View" was featured on Alice in Bondage' fourth studio album, Black Gives Way to Blueish, released exactly 17 years after Dirt, on September 29, 2009.[35]

It's a cardinal, sickening howl from the depths of Layne Staley'south heroin habit, and i of the most harrowing concept albums e'er recorded. Not every song on Dirt is explicitly about heroin, but Jerry Cantrell's solo-written contributions (nearly half the album) effectively maintain the thematic coherence—nearly every vocal is imbued with the morbidity, self-cloy, and/or resignation of a self-aware notwithstanding powerless aficionado."[45]

The nigh metal of the Seattle bands, they were marketed equally metal for 1990'southward 'Facelift,' then touted equally grunge for 1992's 'Dirt.' The band members themselves didn't bother much with labels, they just churned out some of the finest alt-metal with classics similar 'Would?,' 'Rooster' and 'Them Bones' leading their accuse all the fashion to the headlining spot on Lollapalooza '93."[6]
